In The Nordstrom Way, a book about the business, Erik Nordstrom says, “Our people don’t have one look, one background, one culture. The common thread is they are themselves. They are genuine.” This quote perfectly sums up the Nordstrom and Gittinger family, the 2018 National Philanthropy Day Outstanding Philanthropic Family award winner.

The Nordstrom and Gittinger family have been heavily involved with philanthropy in Washington and across the globe for decades. Many nonprofit organizations in our community have benefitted from their financial support. Even more than the dollars, they share time to help nonprofits grow and succeed.

"For generations, members of this branch of the Nordstrom family have consistently displayed their devotion to our community through their generous philanthropy and exceptional level of commitment to the organizations in which they are involved. Rarely do they say “no” when asked to participate in or lead a project, either boldly in the front or quietly behind the scenes. While the Nordstroms are exceptionally generous philanthropists, it may be their extraordinary leadership that sets them apart. They are willing to ask provocative questions, and they are willing to push to new heights the organizations with which they work. They are thoughtful, compassionate, inspiring, funny and inspirational."

– Connie Kravas, University of Washington

“We are deeply honored, and more than a little humbled, to be able to support this region we love by investing in many of the organizations that are doing vital work to advance the lives of, and opportunities for, our fellow citizens.”

– Bruce Nordstrom and Anne Gittinger
